A photograph of a man on a stage performing a standing ritual gesture, both arms raised with hands at the crown of the head and eyes closed. He has a white tilak on his forehead, a red bindi, a dark moustache and long dark hair, and wears a reddish-maroon garment with a leopard-print patterned shawl, a gold necklace and red beaded bracelets. Overhead are metal truss rigging and stage lights, with a white draped valance above. Given the page's description of this event, the man's appearance does not clearly establish him as the a person, so the identity is uncertain and no name is asserted.
